Shirley Scott

Famous quotes containing the words shirley and/or scott:

“The glories of our blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial things;
There is no armour against fate;
Death lays his icy hand on kings:
Sceptre and crown
Must tumble down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade.”
—James Shirley (1596–1666)

“I’ve been drunk for about a week now, and I thought it might sober me up to sit in a library.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
